    Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 12/08/2016

    Life, Apinan Poshyananda, Published on 15/08/2022

In March 2022, after postponement due to Covid-19 that killed thousands in the city, the 59th Venice Biennale opened under the theme of "The Milk Of Dreams" and was welcomed like a warm delicious latte by the art world.
